Introduction
Anza Street is a key thoroughfare in San Francisco's Richmond District that is frequented by people on bikes and community members who had expressed that they would benefit from having an additional east-west bike route in the neighborhood.
At the request of District 1 Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer, the SFMTA installed approximately 1.5 miles of standard bike lanes, from 26th Avenue to Arguello Boulevard. The aim of this project was to improve safety and accessibility for bicyclists on Anza Street.
Additionally, the SFMTA used this project as an opportunity to assess traffic counts, speed surveys, and recent crash history on the corridor to determine potential locations for future safety improvements, including speed humps.
